Structured cabling

Copper and fibre cabling installed, terminated, dressed and labelled by our own team.

Structured cabling is the permanent wiring between racks, rooms and outlets, the part that should outlast several generations of switches. It is worth doing properly once: sensible pathways, separation from power, enough slack, and labels anyone can follow.

Our cabling team works in the racks and cabinets we build, so cable managers, entries and patch panels are planned together with the rack layout instead of being fitted around it.

What it covers

Pathways
Routes for backbone and horizontal cabling over or under the racks, kept apart from power cables, with fill and bend radius allowed for.
Copper
Twisted-pair cabling terminated on patch panels and outlets.
Fibre
Backbone and inter-rack fibre terminated in fibre enclosures, with slack stored and protected.
Dressing
Cables bundled and routed through managers, clear of airflow paths and blanking.
Labelling
Every cable, port and panel labelled to a scheme agreed with you.

Questions

Can you re-cable a room that is already running?

Yes, in planned stages: new cabling is installed alongside the old, services move across in agreed windows, and dead cable is removed afterwards.

Why keep data cables apart from power cables?

Power cables can induce noise in unshielded data cabling, and mixed bundles are hard to trace and change. Separate pathways, or a clear gap where they have to cross, avoid both problems.
